The charity twist.

What do one do when a agency of which are providing eduaction for the less fortunate, which happens to be solitarily supported by charity, accidently sends you the wrong SWIFT-BIC number which results in you sending a couple of hundred euro to the wrong account. Can you ask the charity to accept that it was their fault and make them pay? No, since it is a charity they do not have enough money to pay, that's why you stepped in, in the first place. Can you contact the bank and ask them to refund, since it was not your mistake. No, they do not take responsibility. So the only thing you can do is to take the true BIC number and sorry send another couple of hundred euros, this time to the right account. Well, what can I say, life sucks sometimes. But atleast you made a child happy somewhere, and an owner of an account somewhere in Germany probably smiling. Simply bend over and accept it!
